Should be fun.
It's difficult to see Franken surviving the week at this point

The week? Hell, he may not even make it through the rest of the day.
Yeah, he's not going to make it until tomorrow. https://t.co/8GA44eT3Cs

Hey, here’s an idea:
He should release a statement saying he is going to take time to reflect, but focus on fighting the NRA https://t.co/UaZioYo46a

That would certainly be a bold strategy!
In any event, this news puts the recent flood of Democratic calls for him to step aside in an interesting light:
Ah, so this was scripted. "Let us all get on the record first saying that you should resign before you announce it. Will be really helpful when we beat up on Roy Moore. Thanks Al, you're the best." https://t.co/CRgKg7Xk5p
